Reply #42: I view Thompson as the corporate media redneck Republican candidate.

Thompson will take up the vacuum left by Bill Frist and George Allen who both imploded.

Now we have a racist poor and middle class hating Republican with a southern drawl in the campaign. The Southern Republicans will flock to Thompson like flies flock to a dead carcass. Jefferson Davis could not have a better successor. Bush had to fake his southern accent but Thompson has one for real. Thompson will use the various code words for poorbashing, middle class issue diversion, so that middle class southern Republicans will vote against their economic interests.
